If a wealthy tourist on vacation to Rio wants to visit a favella, for the experience, is it nailed on they will be mugged, killed, kidnapped etc ?
ex-pats buy property and live in the favelas.
Why the rolly eyes? It's clear I didn't know the answer because I asked the question
you do realize there are favela tours, right? as far as getting robbed, if you want to sport jewelry or drive a luxury car at night with the windows down, then go ahead. but isn't that the same for NYC?
I've been to Rio. I was told by everybody not to go to the slums but I still wanted to ..my gf wouldn't at the time. She was scared the whole time we were there. Back then you were told not to leave hands out of the window of buses or they'd cut your fingers off to get the rings. Those tours you refer to are bullshit...they don't take you anywhere real, just along predestined safe routes. If you think they take you into the lawless heartland then I need to break out the rolly eyes
Back then you were told not to leave hands out of the window of buses or they'd cut your fingers off to get the rings.
you just said you were rich, so that's the safest route. i worked in mangueira, npo. if you want to get robbed, take a walk around santa teresa in the evening and get lost.
Great, glad you're a Favela and slum expert. Let me rephrase my question and maybe you can answer it as I am not talking about pathetic, bus tours looking out of a window like a dumb tourist.What is the likelihood of somebody well off - rich by Brasilian standards - arriving unannounced in a Favela and walking around, immersing himself in the life. How likely would it be you'd get fucked with on some level - assuming you aren't wearing D&G shades and wearing a Rolex?
Really? Most thieves coming out of favelas aren't that aggressive, and aren't trying to hurt someone on purpose like douchebag criminals in the states. keep the stories coming for the kids on getbig. like i said, if you want to get robbed, take a walk on copa beach about 5am and say you are from Portugal.
you said you were rich, so take the rich man's tour, or shut the fuck up and get some freedom fries and coconut rice in leblon, a great way to carb up, just keeping it bbing related. favela expert .
